A moment of reflection and remembrance at the Opéra Bastille - January 15

Je suis Charlie

On the occasion of the first performance at the Opéra Bastille since the tragic events of last week, all the teams of the Paris Opera wished to dedicate the first performance of Don Giovanni to the victims of the various attacks.

Stéphane Lissner, director of the Paris Opera, spoke and reminded us of the principles and values of tolerance, courage, fraternity and respect.

The Opera’s Orchestra and Chorus performed “Va, pensiero” from Verdi's opera Nabucco, a chorus in praise of unity, freedom and resistance.
